High
Schools
Q: What grade level is your course targeted
to in high schools?
A: Most schools offer our course beginning in grade 9. Due to the popularity of the seminar
they follow with our advanced course in subsequent years. Many schools use our course to help
attract students to take phys ed in following years. The course is appropriate for any grade level
that includes teenage women.
Q: What is the difference between Safe
International and offering a martial arts course?
A: Martial arts techniques quite often take years to master. In a high stress situation such
as an attack, any skills used must be practical and easily remembered.
Q: How far ahead do I need to book a
seminar?
A: We do get booked up early, even months ahead, but we do our best to fit in all schools
and companies. Usually a call at the beginning of the semester will ensure you get a
booking.
Q: Does the school/corporation require any
equipment to offer the course?
A: All we require is a classroom for the safety talk and mats (either wrestling or velcro)
for the simulated attacks on the last day. We can tailor a course without mats if necessary.
Q: What if I only have 1 class of students
to teach? Will you still come teach?
A: While many companies will require a minimum number of students, we do our best to fit
your class in with another school possibly nearby or the option of offering the whole seminar in
one day is a popular option.
Q: Do you teach boys?
A: Yes we do. We offer a four hour course which is different than the program offered to the
girls.
Q: Are there any handouts made available to
the students?
A: We do provide a handout to teachers on material covered during the seminar. We also have
a rubrick available if requested, which can be used to evaluate the simulated attacks. All students
will also receive a Certificate of Achievement. Students are also able to sign up for our monthly
newsletter which will include student success stories, tips, safe news,etc.
Q: What is the cost?
A: Call for details. It depends on which program is chosen. We do charge on a per person
basis.
Q: Can we videotape the course?
A: We allow schools to videotape the simulated attacks. This can be valuable in evaluating
the students. We do not allow the other days to be videotaped. We do allow pictures to be taken on
these days.

Q: Are there any advantages to taking
private lessons over joining a class?
A: Definitely! There are many including lower instructor/client ratio. You will get much
more personalized training designed to meet your specific needs anywhere from your home environment

questions without the pressure of trying to keep up with others.

of lessons?

you. We require a minimum of five lessons to give you some basic skills that we feel will make you
safer.

U.S.A. and Canada?
A: Yes. We have a number of instructors available. Costs for travel will be determined at
time of bookings.
Q: If I have a couple friends who want to
join me, can you teach a small group of us?
A: Yes. In fact, it may reduce each person's investment by having more people and can make
for a more enjoyable learning experience.
